How to Make an Embroidery Hoop Wreath with Wood Slices
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of JOANN. All opinions are 100% mine.

Football season is one of my favorite times of year. Even if you're not a big football fan, these fun football party and decor ideas will spark your creativity (and maybe even make you a little hungry too ;) ). Some affiliate links included.

A well-styled coffee station can become a focal point in your living space and is a great way to start your day! This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Hobby Lobby. The opinions and text are all mine. Hello there friends! If you've been here before, you already know what a coffee lover I am. I'm not sure if I love the flavor or the comfort of the morning ritual more, but both are pretty darn special! Being a coffee lover, of course I have a spot in the kitchen with all of my coffee accoutrements... the maker, the mugs, the sweeteners, some tea, etc. Well actually I don't have a spot. It's in many spots... I don't really have the counter Continue Reading
Basil Couscous Salad with Citrus Roasted Chicken
This Basil Couscous Salad with Citrus Roasted Chicken may be a simple recipe but there is nothing simple about its bold flavor! Thanks to Bertolli for sponsoring this recipe. It always seems like once fall approaches that the rest of year flies by, have you ever felt that way? Schedules get crazy for those with kids going back to school, the next thing you know it's holiday time and then suddenly it's New Year's and you're wondering where the 2nd half of the year went! One way to stay sane during those crazy times is to meal plan and to include LOTS of simple recipes in the meal plan. When I say simple, I don't mean boring! With minimal quality ingredients (with maximum flavor!) Continue Reading
